Last night Blog-Stedman and I went to a party and left the boys ready for bed all tucked into OUR bed watching TV for a special New Year’s treat.   The plan was to find a TV channel that was showing appropriate non-offensive programming for the next 90 minutes and set the sleep timer. Blog-Stedman was excited when he found a Three Stooges Marathon. I rolled my eyes and said, “Are you sure the boys will be interested in that?” About 2.5 seconds later I could hear the boys giggling uncontrollably. Question answered. Blog-Stedman looked at me with triumphant glee and I went back to doing girly hairdoing stuff which was a little more difficult amid my involuntary head shaking. Blog-Stedman sat down with the boys to watch while I finished getting ready.   He told the boys how he thought that Ryan was like Moe, Reid like Larry and Rhett like Curly.   When I finished all four of them were giggling on the bed. It is definitely a boy thing. This was further confirmed at the party.   We mentioned to a friend what we had left the boys watching The Three Stooges and his eyes lit up and said, “I am taping THAT marathon – so far I have 22 episodes!” This lead to a discussion as to what order you SAY the Stooges names.   Based on my party research, women tend to say Larry, Curly and Moe and men are ADAMANT that it is Moe, Larry and Curly. MOE WAS IN CHARGE!   HE HAS TO BE FIRST! It is definitely a boy thing. This morning Blog-Stedman was discussing the finer points of the marathon with the boys.   He asked which Stooge the boys thought was the funniest. “Definitely Rhett” replied Reid.

  1. ok here’s my take, i dislike the show more than dislike i can’t stand it. BUT. here’s my take on teh name thing. it’s rather obviously really
    an LCM is a chewy mashmallowy treat
    an MLC is a mid life crisis

    is it any wonder why women pick LCM and men pick MLC as their prefs? I think not.

    sorry no idea how I ended up here but like a weeklong rash I won’t be leaving anytime soon 🙂

  2. the stooges thing is TOTALLY on the Y chromosome.

    but i always heard it as larry, moe and curly. (or later, larry, moe and curly joe)

    of course, there’s always manny, moe and jack.
